The importance of a boiler service
For those of us that have cars we all make sure they are regularly serviced and maintained to keep them running smoothly and safely. This should also apply to your boiler in your home. There are countless people that do not have their boilers serviced. Landlords and local authorities are legally obliged to have the boilers in their property’s serviced annually. Homeowners do not face such requirements and subsequently leave their boilers to go unchecked for many years.

Boilers although very useful and efficient for your home and water supply can also threaten the lives of people living in your home. According to Andy from HomeGlow Gas Services “A faulty boiler can be extremely dangerous. According to government statistics in the UK, around 4000 people suffer with carbon monoxide poisoning due to leaking boilers.”This is also known as the silent killer as it is colourless, odourless which makes it particularly difficult to detect. So, getting your boiler serviced annually is one of the most important things you can do in your home.
